Interpreting measurements of small strain elastic shear modulus under unsaturated conditions [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 Bender element testing of unsaturated isotropically compacted speswhite kaolin samples was used to investigate the variation of small strain elastic shear modulus G under unsaturated conditions. Testing was performed in a suction-controlled triaxial cell

Small Strain Shear Modulus of Clay Sedimentation in a State of Normal Consolidation
Soils and Foundations, 1994 In this paper, consideration is given as to how to characterize depth-variation for the small-strain shear modulus of natural clay sedimentation, in a state of normal consolidation. A case study was carried out for a relatively uniform clay layer deposited in the Holocene era.

Unified Model for Small-Strain Shear Modulus of Variably Saturated Soil [PDF]
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering - ASCE, 2016 AbstractThe small-strain shear modulus G0 is a property fundamental to the deformation response of soils to dynamic loading. It depends on soil mineralogy, particle characteristics, void ratio, effective stress, and the degree of saturation. Some theories have been established to predict G0 of soils under variably saturated conditions.

A semi-empirical relationship for the small-strain shear modulus of soft clays [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 The small-strain shear modulus (Gmax) is a soil property that has many practical applications. The authors compiled a database of Gmax measurements for 40 normally consolidated to slightly overconsolidated low to high plasticity clays.

Influence of time on the small strain shear modulus of an allophanic volcanic ash [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe small strain shear modulus is an important parameter in the assessment of soil dynamics problems. Studies on the small strain shear stiffness of volcanic ash remain rare probably because globally they cover just under 1% of the land surface. However,

Optimizing modified triaxial testing for small strain zone using local displacement transducers and bender element for cement-treated soft soil [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 The settlement behavior is a common problem on the railway structure that can be optimized by applying cement-treated soil as ground restoration. However, the application of a high cement mixing content needs a proper estimation that can be achieved by ...

Characterization of Small-Strain Shear Modulus Through DAS
9th International SUT Offshore Site Investigation Geotechnics Conference Proceedings “Innovative Geotechnologies for Energy Transition”, 2023 The offshore subsurface is a highly dynamic place where seismic waves are constantly generated due to the presence of offshore infrastructure, earthquakes, landslides etc. In recent years, Distributed acoustic sensing or DAS has drawn the attention of geologists and geophysicists for its capability of monitoring seismic activity.
